The white hankies signalling for the first aid guys at 12.08 in this video is for my pal who broke his ankle when Eddie scored the winner. Pandemonium.

19/10/2002 Scottish League SPL

Partick Thistle 0 v 3 Hibernian

O’Connor 2
Paatelainen


Bobby Williamson’s HIBS make it four wins on the bounce and they would make it five thanks to Grant Brebner’s solo strike a week later at Pittodrie

Young striker Garry O’Connor staked a claim for a Scotland return when towards the end of a forgettable first half he controlled a searching pass from Zambernardi 30 yards from goal turned smartly and thundered a right footed shot high into the corner of the Thistle net

His second goal arrived two minutes from the end when he knocked the ball over the head of his marker before volleying home

HIBS scored their second when Mixu Paatelainen barged his way through a crowd of defenders to get on the end of a Craig James with nine minutes remaining

Searching for his hat-trick O’Connor found time in the dying minutes to send a fizzer past the post following that up with a stinging drive that hit the post

In form striker Kevin Harper opened the scoring but things went pear shaped when Jim Leighton was sent off for the only time in his career when he handled the ball outside the box

19/10/1977 Anglo Scottish Cup Semi Final Leg 1

Hibernian 1 v 1 Bristol City

Fair play to Osters they came to attack and HIBS found themselves on the back foot for large parts of this match but succeeded in keeping a clean sheet

HIBS went ahead on 34 minutes when Bobby Smith beat two men on the left and his waist high cross was bulleted home by John Blackley’s diving header. A minute later a Des Bremner shot came back off the crossbar and Bergqvist handled the rebound John Brownlie did the needful from the spot

News came through before kick off of the sad passing of club legend Davie Shaw at the young age of 60

In a physical encounter played in front of 7000 souls HIBS emerged victorious

Hibs would reach the semi final of the Scottish Cup for the first time in their existence and would play the invincible Queens Park at the Holy Ground on the 19th January 1884.

There was a problem in that Queens Park were already committed to play Aston Villa in the FA Cup on the same date in Birmingham and the English team refused to move the date

Father Hannon would not hear of a walkover or have Queens Park quit one of the competitions or split their resources Instead he agreed to play the Scottish Cup game on a mutually acceptable date

The Scottish Cup Semi Final took place at Hibernian Park on 2nd February 1884

Hibernian 1 v 5 Queens Park

Gordon Durie makes his debut on this day but Kano upstages him by firing in a double

Gordon Durie was the sort of player who once he had completed a full preseason and had worked on his upper body strength and sprinting had you walking quicker to the Stadium and had you out of your seat as soon as he got the ball with his pace power strength and direct running style you just knew something was about to happen and that he wouldn’t be here for long

Anyone remember Kano’s first goal for HIBS in a 3-1 win over Dundee in a game beamed live and attracted a 10000 crowd as Kenny Waugh allowed free admission as the previous fixture had been cancelled due to fog?

Great thread..superb stuff on it

Wee question going back to the utube video earlier of the Scottish Cup win v Celtic 1986

Great game
However,what puzzled me was the Cave being empty (thats the FF for younger viewers)
Was it price? i can't remember.
I know when the seats were installed it cost a bit more in there.
But so empty for that game,when everywhere else seemed packed
Memory eh ?

IIRC tickets were at a premium and 20000 crammed into Easter Road that great day

Tickets for the Seated Enclosure ( Cave) were more expensive for a seat on a bench so were avoided by most supporters

There was no TV coverage at this match but that did not stop VHS tapes not Betamax of the game doing a roaring trade in the days after the final whistle

I’ve still goat mine :greengrin

Thanks Billy

De javu all over again !!

Debate on the FF use in recent times.
The Cave getting seats caused uproar back then
Ruined atmosphere when they were installed and entry price went up.
Cave-ites dispersed.
Some did not return as regularly .
Lesson there regard shuffling the current choir about.


Great when the club listens to fans!!

A good day tomorrow guys 😃

On This Day In History

2011 Leigh Leigh Super Leigh scores his first goals for HIBS at St Mirren

2000 Andy Kirk opens the scoring for Hearts after only 3 minutes but the rest as they say is history

Gordon Durie lined up for Hearts and Darren Jackson was on their bench

Hat-trick hero Mixu robs Antti Niemi of the Man Of The Match award but a few in green and white also had valid claims

1994 HIBS draw 0-0 with Scottish Cup holders Dundee United at Tannadice but would go on to defeat them 5-0 4-0 and 1-0 United would be relegated in this season

Pretty sure Andy Goram had Hoochie as first goalscorer as he ran the length of the pitch to make sure he took the penalty

I actually watched the first leg from the Director’s Box and having our half-time cuppa one of the Liege Director’s wives asked me for ‘le lait?’ and being a fully paid up member of the Tartan Army I knew what she was on about :greengrin

Stanton 58
Cropley 64

One of the great European nights at Easter Road- HIBS actually led 2-1 - and probably the first time my green tinted eyes actually noticed an opposition player JOSE ALTAFINI- what a player!

Claudio Gentile opened the scoring just before half time

Stanton a header from a Brownlie cross and Cropley - a tap in when a lob on goal was headed onto the underside of his own crossbar by a Juve defender- gave HIBS the lead then the Italians brought on the ageing grey haired 36 year old striker.

Lightning quick HIBS could not cope he scored one made one for Cuccureddu and added a second

Alan Gordon told me the story that in the second leg they had this big Stadium Clock and you could see Altafini warming up and as the clock reached 70 minutes the natives were getting more and more restless and when he came on you just knew you were in for more torture scoring one and making one

Tam McManus was given a rare start and he was looking hungry and dangerous from the off out on the right wing. His 13th minute corner was met by Garry O’Connor and after the striker’s initial shot was blocked Colin Murdock was on hand to stab the ball into the net to score his first goal for the club

HIBS doubled their lead three minutes later when Derek Riordan picked up a threaded pass from Stephen Glass inside the Killie box spun round the challenge of Freddie Dindeleux and poked the ball through the legs of Francois Dubourdeau from six yards out

Kilmarnock pushed forward to try and get back into the match with Fowler and Boyd going close but Daniel Andersson in the HIBS goal managed to repel everything Killie could throw at him

Substitute Colin Nish managed to pull one back for Kilmarnock on the 80th minute and as they piled forward searching for an equaliser Garry O’Connor slipped the ball under Dubourdeau after a swift counterattack in the 90th minute

Duncan 57,64

Magical HIBS booked their place in the quarterfinals of the European Cup Winners Cup in magnificent style

Once again Turnbull’s Tornadoes hammered out a warning to all of Europe with a fantastic seven goal rout of Albanian Cup holders FC Besa

Eddie Turnbull had forecast a green and white blitzkreig and once again he was bang on

HIBS teased and tormented and finally tore the heart out of a plucky but completely outclassed Besa side No praise can be too great for this HIBS side as they took all the strain out of a potentially tricky away leg with seven magnificent goals

It was almost an exact repeat of the humiliation of Sporting Lisbon with an extra goal thrown in for good measure

Right from the opening whistle HIBS attacked FC Besa The Albanian goal surviving many narrow escapes before HIBS finally broke their resistance in 11 minutes Alan Gordon crashed a left foot shot which beat Besa keeper Arkaxhiu but hit the crossbar Alex Cropley however was alert to any slip ups and was right on the spot to head home

The HIBS fans went wild and Besa crumpled 90 seconds later when Jimmy O’Rourke grabbed a second from close range when he gratefully accepted an Alan Gordon headed knockdown to fire home

Into the second half and going down the slope HIBS hit them with five goals in 12 wonderful minutes

The Albanians had no answer to the pace power and precision passing of this wonderful HIBS side

The first came when Cropley raced on to a through ball from Stanton he beat two defenders before cutting the ball back for O’Rourke to slam home

Two minutes later Edwards sent Brownlie clear on the right The full back raced deep into the Besa penalty area and slammed HIBS four ahead

Four minutes later HIBS had their place in the quarterfinals assured when Arthur Duncan moved inside tricked his way past two defenders and hammered in a great left foot shot

In the 62nd minute O’Rourke bundled his way through the middle to grab his hat-trick and HIBS’ sixth goal

Three minutes later Duncan scored the best goal of the night when he accepted a Gordon pass and fired home a raging left foot shot from all of 25 yards

Besa who were sporting throughout got a late consolation when Kariqi scored on 67 minutes

New signing Jim McArthur watched this game from the Stand I am sure that he would have been impressed by the performance of his new teammates

After a dull nervous first half in which HIBS’ only chance was when Ray Sharp passed the ball back to goalkeeper Andy Rhodes leaving his goalkeeper one on one with HIBS striker Keith Wright - fortunately for Sharp Rhodes managed to fall on the ball at the feet of the striker-the first half ended all square

Knowing his side had to score first if only to calm the growing nerves amongst the Hibee legions on the terraces and in the pubs and clubs Manager Alex Miller simply calmly reminded his players that they were better than the Pars man for man and as a team and all that they had to do was just relax and take control of the game and their reward would come

HIBS kicked off for the second half shooting towards their own fans and were like a team revitalised HIBS immediately won a corner which ended with Gareth Evans shooting narrowly over the crossbar
In 48 minutes the breakthrough came Michael Weir played a neat one two with Wright and burst into the box only to be fouled by the hapless Sharp who grabbed at Weir’s waist but was unable to bring the HIBS man down That was enough to make Weir mis-kick and topple over and three quarters of the Stadium shouted ‘penalty ‘and Referee Brian McGinlay had no hesitation in pointing to the spot

Tommy McIntyre the coolest man in Hampden stepped up and sent Dunfermline’s ace penalty stopper Andy Rhodes the wrong way from the penalty spot

It was all one way traffic after that but the fans sensed that HIBS really needed to finish Dunfermline off Billy Davies having their first shot on target in the 75th minute

Five minutes from the end Weir and Evans dispossessed Cunnington before Weir played a lovely one touch through ball to Wright who went hurtling through on goal leaving Norrie McCathie and Davie Moyes in his wake before calmly placing the ball beyond the advancing Rhodes

The fans knew it was all over but Brian Hamilton still had time to rattle a post with a 25 yard thunderbolt and Pat McGinlay fired a Graham Mitchell cross just wide

HIBS did try to get back into the game but the Dons defence was brilliantly marshalled by Willie Miller

Hibs managed to squeeze past Queens to face Celtic in the quarterfinals despite making this tie more difficult for themselves than it actually was

Hibs took the lead after 10 minutes when Brian Reid failed to cut out an innocuous looking ball into the box the ball fell to Derek Riordan who made no such mistake controlling the ball with his first touch and sticking it past Colin Scott with his second. 12 minutes later HIBS added a second when Garry O’Connor rose between two defenders and headed the ball down into the path of Riordan who selected his spot and gave Scott no chance

HIBS failed to add to their lead but came close on several occasions but were made to sweat on the 90 th minute when Colin Murdock pulled down a Queens player in the box and was sent off for a second bookable offence. Alex Burke duly dispatched the spot kick past Andersson

With the clock ticking down Queens were only able to manage one last almighty stramash in the HIBS box with several having chances that were blocked and thankfully the danger was eventually cleared

HIBS however were without the injured Eddie Turnbull. Willie Ormond now taking his place in the engine room with debutante James Bradley out on the left wing

Just when it looked as though a replay would be required Motherwell inspired by exhibee Johnny Aitkenhead struck in 75 minutes when Kelly opened the scoring Three minutes later Forrest added a second and a miskick by Younger allowed Watters in to add a third

The Hampden Hoodoo had struck again

28/10/1889 Scottish League First Division

Hibernian 1 v 0 Hearts

Handling

Hamilton Handling gave the green jerseys a 1-0 victory A second goal was disallowed as Hibernian took command. Hearts’ anxiety led to incidents of the ungentlemanly type which scarcely reflected to their credit Five Hibernians were crippled It was however a most welcome victory the Hibernian players were congratulated by all hands and the cheering was loud and long

The league double was completed at Tynecastle on Saturday 25th November and after Hearts took the lead Hamilton Handling destroyed them with a hat-trick to give the Irishmen a great victory. Hibernian eventually took third place in the League finishing a point ahead of Hearts

Hibernian surprised everyone including themselves by upsetting all the odds and demolishing Hearts by three goals to nil...’ shots from every angle rained in on the Hearts goal...’ and two of them from Paddy Donaghy and one from McLean did the damage all in the first half.

Or as Gaz once said on Off The Ball him and Deeks had a telescopic understanding.

He then got a row of Tam Cowan for swearing.

Can’t really understand why there wasn’t a greater demand for Gaz and Deeks as pundits.

They would certainly have been more entertaining than a lot of the boring predictable pundits who are
currently getting gigs.

1975 Pat Stanton rises like a salmon in the 99th minute to head a late equaliser at Tiny

1972 Hibs put 10 past Airdrieonians at the quarter final stage on their way to winning the Scottish League Cup

1947 Gordon Smith scores the best goal of his illustrious career in a 0-2 win at Fir Park

Having collected the ball in midfield Smith proceeded to bear down on the Motherwell goal at speed beating man after man before splitting the full backs to prod the ball past the goalkeeper as he fell

The goal was acknowledged with thunderous applause by both sets of supporters Gordon would later say ‘That was the best goal I have ever scored I just couldn’t do anything wrong that day I was told afterwards I had beaten seven men before scoring’

Came across this wonderful article on Willie Hamilton.

https://archive.ph/20120720173611/ht...m?id=139922006

I saw him play at Hunters Hall in a match labelled as Hibs All Stars versus Hearts All Stars as a nipper. The only player I recognised was Willie McFarlane who had recently left Hibs after his stint as manager. I had a wee autograph book ( long lost) and at the end of the match my auld man said to me, "that's Willie Hamilton, his autograph is worth getting". I walked over to him and asked him to sign my book and he said, "I'm nobody son, you don't need my autograph." A complex character.

I was at that Morton game too. One away turnstile open. Queued in the pouring rain and got in at 3:20. Game was abandoned 15 minutes later. Brief demonstration on the pitch afterwards demanding our money back- to no avail, obviously.

One midweek game stands out in September 1988 wind and driving rain from start to finish

Gareth Evans gave us the lead then the Saintees threw everything at us but Andy The Goalie Goram put on the best display I have ever seen from a goalkeeper

It was like he had Teflon gloves He held every shot despite the conditions and the greasy ball and had his angles spot on

The only relief was Stevie Archibald who was the master at retaining possession

In a match played in a downpour this game was a lot closer than the scoreline suggests Munoz gave Valencia the lead after 11 minutes from an offside position Despite HIBS’ protests the goal was allowed to stand HIBS had several chances to equalise but found the Valencia goalkeeper Zamora to be in excellent form Guillot scored a second on 66 minutes Jim Scott and John McNamee hit a bar and a post respectively before Munoz again hammered the final nail in the HIBS coffin on 72 minutes

Hibs received a standing ovation from the Valencia fans and many rave reviews but at the end of the day we were out of Europe for another year

Leading by a goal from Findlay the visitors sat back and relied upon their famous ‘Iron Curtain’ defence to win them the game. For a long time it looked as though this tactic might work as HIBS’ diminutive forwards struggled against the giants in the Rangers defence That was until Jock Govan decided to take matters into his own hands The long legged right back went on a penetrative run deep into the Rangers box reaching the byline he fired across a low hard driven ball for Gordon Smith to force over the line

HIBS would win the League in this season

I remember being at that game.

It was an absolute masterclass in goalkeeping by Andy Goram.There was no need for him to make any spectacular saves as he his positioning and angles were perfect.

My only criticism of Andy (apart from joining the currant buns) was I once bought him a pint at a Hibs do but he never bought me one back.

In typical Hibs fashion, the game that stands out for me [for different reasons] a week after the white boots and euphoria of Joe Baker's second debut against Eddie Turnbull's [up until then] invincible Aberdeen team, we were at Love Street and Joe got himself dismissed in a 3-1 loss. I was 14 at the time and took my then 8 YO brother for his first away game, I won the first goal raffle on the bus and with the 50p winnings, I got us both fish and chips, when the bus had its customary stop on the way home, [changed days alright].

Sadly I lost my brother, [now over 22 years ago], he reminded me of fish & chips and Joe Baker's dismissal not long before his sudden passing, I had long forgotten it, but its been comforting to know that, that day we spent together watching the Hibees together meant that much to him, ot maybe it was the fish and chips :greengrin.

Dundee equalised half way through the first half when Marcus Haber got on the end of a Roarie Deacon cross but Simon Murray sealed the points just after the hour when he volleyed home a superb cross from Anthony Stokes from six yards out

Rangers smelt blood and went for the kill but Younger managed to pull off great saves from Waddell and Paton

Into the second half and Hibernian came out of the traps flying the five interchanging in a superb passing move that ended with Willie Ormond sending over a cross for Lawrie Reilly to head home the equaliser HIBS continued to dominate the game but could not add to their score as they found the Rangers goalkeeper Dawson to be in top form

IIRC it was Gordon McQueen that Joe smacked. Given Joe was also sent off for Arsenal for thumping Ron Yeats that's some double! Crazy really when you think of the punishment that strikers took from centre backs in those days.

Joe Harper had a stomach bug and was replaced at half-time by Alex Edwards The Italians decided enough was enough and upped the ante with goals from Pietro Anastasi 2 Roberto Bettega and Jose Altafini to put HIBS firmly back in their box

Future England Manager Fabio Capello wore #10 for Juve that night

Alan Gordon told me the story that the Stadium had a big Clock and as the big hand approached 60 minutes you could hear the natives getting restless and you would glance across at their bench and you would see a grey haired tracksuit warming up and your heart would sink ‘ Aw no Jose Altafini ‘

After suffering two away defeats to Partick Thistle and Valencia HIBS hoped to get back to winning ways against a Hamilton team that contained ex hibee Johnny Frye and former Hearts legend Andy Bowman

In truth newly promoted Hamilton were out of their depth in the First Division and HIBS ran riot with Eric Stevenson in particular having a great game scoring his first senior hat-trick and Jim Scott and Jimmy O’Rourke each scoring doubles- O’Rourke being denied a hat-trick with the deflection for the own goal. Davy Hogg scored his first goal for the club and Joe Davis scored a goal that wasn’t a penalty

It is HIBS’ record home victory in a League match and matched their away victory versus Airdrieonians in 1959

It was the second time in this season that HIBS had scored eleven as they took eleven goals off Alloa Athletic in the quarter final of the League Cup

Hibs travelled to Ibrox and played the hosts off the park with Gordon Smith in superlative form

The winger put HIBS ahead before Cuthbertson and Turnbull ensured a half-time lead of 3-0

The home side came out all guns blazing in the second half and pulled one back through Thornton but then came the goal of the game when Smith collected the ball some 30 yards out and crashed a shot high into the net to stun the home support into silence

A late goal by Gillick reduced the deficit but the visitors were well worthy of their 4-2 victory

What a night of frustration it was for Eddie Turnbull’s men who left the field with their heads bowed and no wonder They had attacked from start to finish but not one stroke of luck did they have Look at this for a catalogue of woes: Five goal line clearances by Leeds One HIBS shot that hit a post One disallowed goal A succession of magnificent saves by two young Leeds goalkeepers

Young Scot John Shaw was a hero in the first half and when he retired injured on came 17 year old Glen Letheren to perform equally well

It was Glen’s first senior match and one he will never forget HIBS won’t forget it either and certainly not poor Pat Stanton As the 36000 crowd held their breath at the end of extra time skipper Pat Stanton came up to take the first penalty and struck the post All the fans knew that was that Cropley Blackley Bremner and Hazel all scored but so did Lorimer F Gray Bates Clark and Billy Bremner whose shot entered the net via the underside of the crossbar

Hibs played skilful football and never stopped attacking Alan Gordon did manage to score with a header and the Referee awarded the goal but after the Leeds players protested and after consulting his linesman the counter was ruled out for offside

Leeds defended brilliantly and no one more so than Scotland Captain Billy Bremner whose sweeper role can only be described as an exercise in studied insolence but brilliant nonetheless

Leeds only had four attacks one of which Ellam had the ball in the net but was ruled out for an infringement on Jim McArthur

You have to feel sorry for HIBS there is nothing more they could have done as Leeds did to HIBS what Inter Milan did to Celtic in the Champions Cup penalty shoot out at Parkhead
